Chapter 7, Inca the World Guardian
They turned and saw a middle aged woman standing with bags in her hands.
Charlie nodded her head, "How'd you know?"
"It's my job to know," she pauses as she sat the bag down on the table, "I was beginning to think that the former Guardians wasn't going to chose others. I must say one chose you very young, but either way I say you'll do nicely." Said the woman sitting across from Charlie.
"Do nicely for what?" asked Charlie.
"For the job!" stated the woman.
"What job?" asked Obi-wan he was just confused as Charlie was.
"World Guardian, she is to be" explained Yoda.
Charlie remembered what Norman said to her, so he was right.
"Inca, this is," said Yoda, "help Charlie, she can!"
"Charlie is it, well Charlie, I guess you want to know what a World Guardian is?" asked Inca. Charlie nodded, Inca looked at Obi-wan then at Yoda.
"Obi-wan, I trust" said Yoda, Inca nodded.
"Charlie in your world, and I say your world because many other worlds are called Earth. In your you have people that write stories or books, they create movies or cartoons, well most of the time those things are other worlds. Those people are called sightseers. They see into other worlds and they find them good tales to tell. And I'd imagine your world might be in a book some where as well. Do you see the point I'm getting at?" asked Inca.
"Kind of. It is just hard to believe, but it does make some since. What about stories where the world was destroyed?" asked Charlie.
Inca looked down, "Then that world was really destroyed."
"But what does this have to deal with me losing my memory?" asked Charlie.
"Because you are not form this world. It's hard to explain, I haven't figured it out myself. It's best for you not to think of your memories, the more you think of them, the more you'll lose. Anyway the World Guardians are people chosen to protect other worlds once they are born. But we're not always successful, as the result of my world." said Inca.
"Your world?" asked Charlie.
"Atlantis was my world, I wasn't able to protect it," Inca mumbled.
"I'm sorry" said Charlie.
Obi-wan was about to say something but Yoda held up his hand for him to be quiet.
"There is a way to stop your memory form fading," Inca paused as she reached in the top of her shirt and pulled out a strange looking necklace charm, "a power crystal."
"It's the source of a guardian's power!" said Inca.
"Where can I get mine?" asked Charlie.
"I have a spare crystal power holder, but you'll have to find the power own your own," stated Inca.
"Where do I get it?" asked Charlie.
"The same place you came into this world!" said Inca.
"I found her on Kalormen," said Obi-wan, "She was with general grievous."
"general grievous oh dear this is bad," said Inca.
"Stop Charlie, he will try," said Yoda.
"Then Anakin and I will go with her!" said Obi-wan.
"And so will I," said Inca, "Charlie I'll repeat again, it is best for you to not think of your friends and family. The more you do, the more you'll forget." Charlie nodded.
Guess i've finally got over my writers block, YAY!. Anyway, i hope you all are starting to understand. Please don't forget to review my story, i love hearing the voices of the republic. And to answer the question that was left to me why doesn't Charlie just write down her memories before she forgets. one- the more she thinks of her memories the more she forgets, and two- even if she did write them down and she went back to read them later she wouldn't even know what she wrote down.
